Not trying to be snitty, but what is a "constructivist course." If von
Glasersfeld and others of like mind are correct, all learning is
constructivist. When you say constructivist course, I assume you mean
courses that will incorporate the conscructivist learning model (CLM) as
part of the design or selection of instructional strategies, but how? What
strategies support CLM? How do you know they support CLM?
Or do you mean courses that acknowledge radical constructivism as a world
view? Again, how?
I just think these are some questions you need to think about, if you have
not already done so.
